10-13 to 14-22 front-end conversion Questions / Experiences

Morning everyone,

If you know of any "recent" write up's on this, please let me know, and don't beat me over the head with a Jesus Stick. My query abilities suck and I could not find anything here......

I did find a write-up on the other pagan site: I am going to use that write-up to start acquiring parts for this. I am in Texas and if any of you have 14-22 front-end parts, Id love to purchase those from you at a reasonable cost. I am in the metroplex and go to Houston/Austin often. My vehicle is Pearl White and if you have a pearl white bumper cover, Id love to get it off of you.

So here's another set of stupid questions fr your entertainment. Us 10-13 5th Gen'ers are the bastard child's of the 5th Gen's and often parts are described as 14-22 only even when it does not involve the front bumper and lights. (TRD Front skid for example...)

My reasons for upgrading to the 14-22 are 1) I like the look more, and 2), I want to have more choices in choosing metal bumpers. That said...

For those of you having performed this conversion, what were your experiences? Did any of you indeed find 14-22 parts post-conversion that did not fit for some reason? any unexpected difficulties or interesting modifications with this upgrade? My reason for asking for "recent" write-ups is that there has been such an influx in additional parts to the market and I want to hear about it.

Thanks as always!

 

This is the Youtube video I will be using as a reference as well:

21 and 22 will have different grilles that accommodate the TSS sensors, just something to keep in mind.

 

I personally prefer the look of my bastard 2013.

 

If my SR5 looked as sexy as yours Id be inclined to keep it! Sorry didn't mean to bash our rides, I like all 5th gens, I just like the 14-22 more. Five Guys > In & Out, both excellent burgers just like one more than the other

 

Same.

 

I think I recently saw somewhere that you can buy the Trail bumper for like two hundred bucks.

I think the ARB bumpers look great on the early Trails, but they stick out so far.
